The right hinge of my hp notebook is breaking the case and I cannot properly open and close the display. I am really angry with the hp customer service as they want me to pay for their design fault.
This issue has been reported in this forum many times over. One can expect that the case can hold the hinge. It is rediculous and one can see how poorly the hp notebooks are designed and how weak the plastic is.
Dear HP Team, I please you to fix the issue within 14 days. If I do not get an offer to repair the issue within 14 days I will file a complaint with the European Commission. Moreover, I will post reviews with these photos attached on Amazon and all major retail channels and note that all HP notebooks can have the hinge problem within a short time period and that HP is reluctant to repair their own production and design error.
Repair it now!!

Hi @Danny1982,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
As this is a hardware issue, I'd suggest you Contact HP in your region regarding the service options for your computer.
If you are having trouble navigating through the above options, it's most likely because the device is out of warranty. If yes? please send me a private message with the region you are contacting us from. Check next to your profile name, you should see a little blue envelope, please click on it.
Have a great day!

I have the same problem, tried contacting Hp but because bought through a retailer they offered absolutely not help or support, can't even order a replacement part anywhere. Common problems with Hp.
Ridiculous that there's no help or way of getting it repaired n the uk.

Tried that already, once i type in the serial number it says can't determine warranty (there is no warranty) and says to then contact the reseller company.
It won't even connect me to talk to someone.
Absolutely ridiculous
